new living room stuff

I have been wanting 2 comfy chairs for years.  I saw an ad recently for a warehouse sale at our local furniture store, so I went on the last day and found these 2 chairs which I LOVE.  I am CRAZY about baby blue and red right now, so I was thrilled.  They have scratches and a small rip but because of that, they were super cheap.  They were both originally $2800 each but I got them for a tiny fraction of that.  

Been crazy about collecting the paper lanterns lately and tracy finally put them up for me.

more balls.
Awhile back I bought a Rex Ray calendar and framed all the prints from it.  I am CRAZY about Rex Ray.  But they sat in our storage because I knew it would take some serious math to figure out how to hang them.  Then the other day, we were at Ikea and I found this print of the flowers that combined the two colors of my chairs...which I knew I'd need to tie them together.  So a few nights ago Tracy said he was my slave to use as I wished (LOL...no, not THAT kind of slave...although I'm sure he would have done that too!).  He hung everything for me and I ABSOLUTELY adore this wall now.  It just makes me really happy.

    regarding your nice new chairs...should you wish to do some leather touch up, you can use liquitex acrylic paint and medium. I haven't actually tried it, but I heard it works. :)
